[quote=Anonymous]It's horrible and tragic.  But it was a freak accident. There are alligators everywhere in Florida.  People are rarely attacked.  People who live here know how to avoid them.  We jump off of our sailboat into the St Johns River all the time.  We don't do it near the shore in shallow warm water.  We kayak in water full of gators.  They don't leap out of the water and snatch people off of jet skis or boats.  They are not fast on land,  but they are super fast in water.  A gator attacks by lunging at prey from the water or shore.   They don't chase people around on land.

We have had several shark attacks at our beach already.  I was bumped by a four foot shark two weeks ago in less than two feet of water.   My point is that it was an awful,  tragic, accident.   An extremely rare type of thing.   Why does anyone need to be at fault? The gator was just being a gator.  The parents were watching their child.  Disney cannot keep alligators out of fresh water in Florida.  No one talks of lawsuits when snakes bite or when sharks attack.  How is this different? [/quote]
